A Lineage of American Perceptual Painters

by mitchellgallery

January 15 – March 1, 2015
The Mitchell Gallery Celebrates 25 Years

Opening Reception: Sunday, January 25, 3:30 – 5:00pm

This exhibition of American Perceptual Painters focuses on a lineage of American Realism begun, in part, by Edwin Dickinson (1891-1978), a student and contemporary of Charles Hawthorne (1872-1930), through the present day. Though representing various genres, themes, and approaches, these artists share a commonality which involves painting from direct observation. This exhibition celebrates a representational lineage that has persevered through the antagonism of the Modern era and continues to enrich the discussion of contemporary American art.
